Psychiatrist 's  Response
It is very important and i am confident that you will definitely be benefited by a regular psychiatrist or clinical psychologist consultation

Such cases we commonly see and they get benefited with regular treatment

This can range from dissociative disorder to depression to other mental health issues

I would suggest this 2 month off that you have taken, kindly see a psychiatrist or psychologist without wasting time

Wish you a happy mental health

Psychiatrist Dr. Dr.Nehal's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.

I have gone through your history.

Your symptoms might be explained with depression with or wothout psychotic features but other conditions like conversion disorder or complex partial seizure need to be ruled out.

You should consult psychiatrist for detailed evaluation and management. Doctor may rule out physical causes like thyroid dysfunction or convulsion.

Treatment would be directed as per cause. You may get benefit by drugs like fluoxetine or sertraline.

You should do stress management and relaxation exercise or may take help of counselor for better control over stress.

Thanks.
